[PATCH 3.12 054/101] nfs: Fix use of uninitialized variable in nfs_getattr()

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Wed Dec 03 2014 - 06:48:27 EST


From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 16caf5b6101d03335b386e77e9e14136f989be87 upstream.

Variable 'err' needn't be initialized when nfs_getattr() uses it to
check whether it should call generic_fillattr() or not. That can result
in spurious error returns. Initialize 'err' properly.
